No, unfortunately I cannot alter data. The reason is that it was frozen as the demands on the host coputer were getting excessive as the database grew. I have contacted surnameweb but so far no response. The only other solution would be to delete it entirely which I am VERY reluctant to do, for as you say it does include everything when compiling the files from my gedcom. I will chase up surnameweb and see if I can get agreement to access it on condition I do not INCREASE the amount of data.

The reason I ask is that a lot of information got into my uploads to you, in the way of notations, that are now starting to be copied elsewhere and I'd like to trim back, some names and some facts. I guess I didn;t realize the source notes were going along as well, but didn't concern myself until I just began to see it elsewhere. Thanks Derek
